Would love to be able to watch live streams right in Primal

Does primal open source their Trending feed algo ?

I figured something like this was going on. Have a feeling those click stats are significantly underreporting

Limitation of the bulk zap software I was using - no way to remove duplicates or ensure I’m not zapping the same note twice

I’m not an expert on this either. I’d defer to nostr:npub12rv5lskctqxxs2c8rf2zlzc7xx3qpvzs3w4etgemauy9thegr43sf485vg on whether this is currently feasible.

I know that I can send sats via lightning to you at [npub]@npub.cash. You do a nostr login and claim the sats (as ecash on the npub.cash mint). Only you can claim these sats. This is one example of pay-to-pub key (P2PK) ecash. In fact, there are 300 sats for you there now. Check it out.

Say you’re using a nostr client on the web. Here’s a possible flow (that would need some work to build):

- have a browser extension to log the npubs of the accounts you want to tip

- those npubs are saved in a database

- your website has a default landing page with info about the company/product

- there’s a button to claim ecash

- a user hits the button and inputs their npub

- if the npub was in your database, your wallet sends x number of sats P2PK

That’s awesome. Thanks for showing me this.

Lmaoooo everyone saying it’s working but look at this screenshot. It’s not showing any zaps in Primal app

One of my goals this year - any resources on how to get started ?

Strange - I don’t get any updates in primal. Also seeing 0 zaps on my most recent notes

Hmmm maybe a UX bug with primal - not seeing any updates on my end

Also 0 zaps on this note

Hmmmm don’t think I can receive zaps…

Any ideas how to troubleshoot this?

Using primal wallet

I spent another 100,000 sats on a zap-vertising experiment…

And I think I proved that advertising on Nostr actually works…

Here’s:

1ļøāƒ£ What I did

2ļøāƒ£ The results

3ļøāƒ£ What I learned

1ļøāƒ£ What I did:

I sent 4105 zaps over the course of 3 days for a total of 112,000 sats.

Each zap contained a link for a blog post:

zapvertising-experiment.carrd.co

My goal was to see if I could get a reasonable cost per click (CPC)…

2ļøāƒ£ The results:

During the campaign I had a total of 71 unique visitors to the page.

CPC was 1578 sats or $1.50 usd.

I also gained 245 followers from that campaign.

These CPCs are in line with other ad platforms which validates the overall concept for me.

3ļøāƒ£ What I learned / brain dump:

- Results were better than expected.

- I thought there might have been a bit of negative push back (however none received).

- There is a chance I am significantly underreporting and google analytics isn't picking everything up (surprised to see 3-4x the number of new followers vs. clicks šŸ¤”)

- THERE IS SOMETHING HERE. I still don’t know exactly what the model looks like, how it scales, but there is something to be uncovered.

- Right now, this can’t be done at scale… in the future it could. I spent ~$100 and it took me multiple days. In the future there will be ways to allocate +$10,000 per day here. For context of where we are at right now, Nostr daily zap totals are around 750,000 sats - about $675 - see stats.nostr.band/ for that data)

- Something feels off with the format… simply paying someone and sending them a link… The p2p model feels right, but the format feels off.

More to come 🫔

Let me know your thoughts šŸ‘‡
